I'm not sure: I've been playing around and I don't see anything obvious with the applications I've tried, either.
Also, I found that my systems give me an error message when I (re)installed applesystemfonts: Unpacking replacement applesystemfonts ... grep: /etc/X11/XftConfig: No such file or directory Setting up applesystemfonts (1.0-4) ... grep: /etc/X11/XftConfig: No such file or directory All done. You may need to restart X to get antialiased fonts You may not have gotten this message, though: I'm using XFree86-4.3, so this may be related to that. Alexander K.
